I know this thread is dead but I have a confession- I'm still sad I'm not having a girl. I'm not sad I'm having a boy, just that I'm not having a girl- does that make sense?? I don't want to feel like this but I do.
I felt the same exact way. I always had hoped for 2 kids of the same sex, so the whole pregnancy I felt sad about not giving Natalie a sister. But as soon as I first laid eyes on Nolan, those feelings went away. I love seeing Natalie with her little brother, and I'm so glad he has a big sister to look up to! It really does suck having those feelings, but know that they will go away when you meet your little boy ((hugs))
I think it's normal and you'll change once he's here!
Thanks I'm not really worried and I already love him! I guess if I knew we might have a third I'd feel better but we most likely won't so I think it's just hard to accept that I won't have 2 girls like I always imagined.c
I feel like a jerk even responding because I obviously did have another girl, but I know exactly how you feel because I felt that way too. I was afraid of having a boy because it would make me want a third, and I really can't have a third! It will be great to have one of each. Me and my brother are 2.5 years apart and we were inseparable growing up! I made him wear leotards and learn dances and have tea parties, etc
Since this is flame free......I am jealous of everyone's kids that are talking. Blake is STILL not talking. He's got maybe 5-7 words and sounds. He JUST started saying dada last week, and I am so proud of him that he's making some progress, but.....I am jealous of the cute things all your babies are saying. I'm afraid we are going to miss that stage and it makes me sad. He's doing EI, but I'm just frustrated and tired of waiting. I know this is flameful because we are lucky that he is happy and healthy and has such a sweet personality.
For her bday we just took may to an amusement park(she had a blast!) and are about to go out for huge ice cream sundaes. I'm going to get one with a brownie in it
Did she have her Minnie party yet? Maybe I missed your post.
Yes! Last Saturday. I posted Monday. It as lots if fun!
Since this is FF and we are on gender matters, I will admit that I cried on Tuesday night about the fact that I'll never have a daughter. I am looking forward to seeing A and J grow up together but I am sad that I'll never go wedding dress shopping with my daughter.
Aww I think this is totally normal. I also think it's probably more emotional when you are team green. I get a little sad sometimes thinking I will never experience what it is like to have a son. But I'm really really happy to have sisters, too.

I have to admit that I feel the same way. I wouldn't trade my boys for anything (well, sometimes I would trade Jack but that's not the point) but I'm sad I'll never have a girl.

Totally okay to mourn not having one gender.its the loss of an experience. We know you'll love and adore your little boy. It's fine to still be sad to not get the experience of a daughter!

So I'm a bit tipsy and this is so TMI
But as of tonight we are officially TTC #2 again! It was um, a bit comical, given that I have, shall we say, limited range of motion due to my recent hip surgery, but all is well Ts and Ps that this round doesn't take 1.5'years and treatment! I just so thankful to finally be past hip surgeries and on to building our family again

Hugs hugs hugs. I know how you feel. I am dying to hear what is inside my smart and sweet little boy's head. Any progress is so great! Write down any and all progress so you can look at those steps when you're discouraged. Pm me anytime.

thanks. Good idea about writing progress down. I think I am going to remember these things forever but I don't. He understand everything and I'm so thankful there's nothing else wrong- it just gets frustrating. I hope your little boy opens up soon!! I love hearing what everyone's LOs are saying and their cute little voices...I just can't wait to hear Blake's.
